Little Silk Shrug
Description from Lace Style: “A lace garment doesn’t get much simpler than this little shrug. The lace motif has a four-row repeat - and two of those four rows are simple purl rows - that is easily memorized. The shrug is worked as a plain rectangle of lace that is bordered with garter stitch to give a casual and elastic finish to the edges. Because there’s no shaping and the stitch pattern is easy, this is a great project for first-time lace knitters. ; A delicious hand dyed silk yarn is a good foil for the shrug’s simple shape and repeating stitch pattern.”
